State posts highway data online
Highway data —including pavement conditions, average annual daily traffic volume for state roads and locations of fatal traffic crashes for the years 2012 to 2016 — are now available on the Hawaii Department of Transportation website.
“We’re sharing the data we’ve collected with the public in the interest of transparency,” said Ed Sniffen, deputy director for Highways, in a press release. “Now members of the public can easily access highways safety and other helpful information that is used to guide our programs.”
The HDOT Highways Program Status Map can also be found on hidot.hawaii.gov under ‘Current Spotlights’ or on the highways division page at hidot.hawaii.gov/highways.
In July, the transportation department made the schedule, scope and estimated cost for all current state highways projects as well as all projects planned for construction in the next two years available to the public via a user-friendly map.
The Project Status data will continue to be updated on a monthly basis, while pavement conditions and average annual daily traffic figures will be updated on an annual basis. Fatal crash data is updated as traffic incident reports are finalized, with the last year of available data being 2016.
